The Stop and Desist Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss civil practice, serving as a formal demand to cease specific activities that allegedly violate legal rights or obligations. It is typically used before initiating court proceedings and can address various issues including intellectual property infringement, unfair competition, privacy violations, harassment, or contractual breaches. The document must conform to Swiss legal requirements and typically includes detailed descriptions of the violations, references to relevant Swiss laws, specific demands, compliance deadlines, and consequences for non-compliance. It can be issued by individuals, businesses, or their legal representatives and serves both as a warning and as documentation of formal notice. The effectiveness of a Stop and Desist Letter under Swiss law often depends on its precision, legal basis, and the clarity of its demands.
